Product Data
Biological target:
Gefarnate is a drug used for the treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcer, and has been proposed for use in the treatment of dry eye syndrome.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
Exposure to gefarnate at 0.002, 0.006, or 0.02 mg/mL for 24 hours increased the secretion of mucin-like glycoprotein from isolated rabbit conjunctival tissue in a dose-dependent manner. The secretion of mucin-like glycoprotein showed statistically significant differences at gefarnate concentrations of 0.006 and 0.02 mg/mL compared to the vehicle (0 mg/mL of gefarnate).

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
